This book provides a comprehensive overview of the chemistry of CO2 in relation to surface interactions and photocatalytic transformation by UV radiation. The first part deals with the modelling of an anatase surface, its interaction with CO2, and the spontaneous exchange of oxygen atoms between the gas and solid phases. The book then naturally transitions to the photocatalytic reduction of CO2, achieved by adding UV radiation and traces of water to the experimental system, to produce methane and CO. This photocatalytic reduction is explained in detail and the implications for planetary chemistry (specifically concerning Mars), as well as Earth's atmospheric chemistry and global warming, are discussed.

Svatopluk Civis pursued his doctoral studies (CSc.) at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. In 2010 he became a professor of experimental physics at the Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering at the Czech Technical University in Prague. For over 15 years, he was the head of the Department of Chemical Physics and the Department of Spectroscopy at the J. Heyrovský Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Czech Academy of Sciences, v.v.i. His research focuses on the application of spectroscopy in different fields of physics and chemistry. Svatopluk Civis is the author of more than 170 papers with over 1700 citations and a frequent speaker (over 50 invited talks) at international conferences.
